Introduction Thank you for deciding in favor of one of the most innovative recording systems from the company Dallmeier electronic. The MPEG-2 Video Streaming Server is used wherever top-quality pictures are required in real time. The high standard of picture quality is guaranteed by MPEG-2 technology.
DIS-1/S and DIS-1/L Overview of features The following table provides an overview of the technical features of the DIS-1/S and the DIS-1/L. Feature DIS-1/S DIS-1/L Video inputs Audio recorder Control display Hard disks (maximum) 2 HDD 4 HDD USB 1.1...
If the DIS is brought directly from a cold environment into a warm room, there is a possibility that condensation may form inside the DIS. Therefore always wait for 1-2 hours (for the condensation to evaporate) before putting the appliance into operation. Dallmeier electronic GmbH & Co.KG...
